Feel the emotion from this son of a Bluesman as he pours his soul out in the name of his musical mentor. This groovy new rendition of the Donny Hathaway classic comes from Lucky Peterson's 2017 album " Tribute To Jimmy Smith" on Jazz Village Records.
The story behind this Christmas classic, as told by RIC POWELL, the co-producer of "THIS CHRISTMAS" by DONNY HATHAWAY. Ric also played drums and percussion on the tune as well. Take a trip down memory lane as the co-producer of this all-time classic takes you back to the studio atmosphere in creating magic with Donny and enjoy a couple cool new arrangements of "This Christmas" by musicians on the rise.
In 1970, the late Donny Hathaway released his first solo album, “Everything Is Everything”. Recorded in Chicago over a one-year period, the effort was produced by Donny and fellow Howard University alum, RIC POWELL, who co-wrote the title track as well as authored the LP's liner notes. In this SOULFUL CONVERSATION, Ric discusses the making of “Everything Is Everything
”, his friendship/partnership with Donny as well as the great songs that made this album a classic.

“The winter holiday is season has always been special to me, the time makes me think of family and giving. It brings memories of singing Christmas songs at an early age, and now I sing them with my own children,” explains Chris. “I was born on Christmas, and I always used to crave the gifts galore. Now as a father….I just crave the love and joy of togetherness and the season. And what better way to get love, then to give love. So this is a remake of one of my musical idols, Donny Hathaway, and it is from my heart to you. I hope you enjoy and appreciate the spirit of the season and share it with others. Let’s spread the holiday love and good will to all.” - Chris Turner
